If I wanted to keep everything on this website all neat and technically accurate I’d put this below the other Slackmatics, as it came out later and actually includes most (if not all) of Slackmatic #3 and 4. But who cares about stuff like that? If anybody who’s a big fan of theirs can’t tell that this fancypants, comic sized edition is different from the long out of print mini comic version of the original Slackmatic #1, well, it’s their loss. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this is a big excuse to reprint a lot of their old stuff in a better format just because they put some of their best work in here, as the first half of this is all new material. Like what? Glad you asked. There’s a big story to start things off here where the two of them finally have a bloody battle while trying to come up with a comic story. Hey, it’s been a long time coming. Next is a wonderfully paranoid story about a car parked outside of the post office. Why has it been there so long? Why is it rocking? Finally there’s the story depicted on the cover, dealing with a slime monster from outer space. Yes, it is just as adorable as it looks from the cover. As for the second half of the book, check out the reviews below this one, as everything you need to know about them are in there. Kudos to these guys getting the full size treatment, the experience is much like the one you get when watching a great movie on a giant screen tv for the first time. Sure, it’s still good on your crappy, tiny tv at home… but wow, that difference is huge. Also, I don’t know how they do it, but these two remain just about the only creators out there who can screw up “your†and “you’reâ€without consistently getting on my nerves. Must have something to do with the fact that their stories are consistently hilarious…
